5In this trade, Guardians get 2 of the worse pitchers I have ever seen in my life. In the interest of speeding up the game, they should just put up 2 balls on the scoreboard when either faces a batter, because neither is capable of throwing a first, or second, pitch strike. Last night Neris comes in and walks 3 in a row, in a one -rune game, next batter scorches a ball into a double play and he fist pumps walking off the mound. Thank god I was not in the stands, or I would've gone berserk. $9 mil, life-changing money, for 1 year of watching this fat, slob throw slow, wild pitches. But compared to Cuas, he is Juan Marichal. In return, Cubs get Straw, whom I immediately convert into a reliever. I don't know if he has a good arm, or not. He's better than the two Cleveland gets from the Cubs. Maybe make him a starter. Who knows?
Cleveland wouldn't just dump Straw to be sincere and this would be a dump... Would the Cubs legitimately add him to the MLB roster?
Cubs don't need Straw with Belli, PCA and Franklin. But he has value. I still think the best constructed team position wise was the Big Red Machine. Every team needs a Geronimo in CF, which is Straw in his dreams. Glad Cubs didn't waste prospects on two outings of Bieber.
I promise.
Cleveland isn't going to move Straw unless the team they are trading him too actually promises and adds him to the 40 man roster...
